In the month of August 1888, on the Via Arenula, the new street
leading to the new Ponte Garibaldi, at the corner of the Via di S.
Bartolomeo dei Vaccinari, the last street on the right which leads up
to the reputed House and School of S. Paul, at the depth of
twenty-seven feet (which shows how the soil has accumulated here),
another of the Lares Compitales of the time of Augustus was
discovered. It is a square marble altar with a beautiful cornice,
which is, unfortunately, broken. On the front is a relief representing
four men at a sacrifice, with bay crowns upon their veiled heads. A
bull and a pig are by assistants being led up to sacrifice--the bull
to the Genius Cæsarum, and the pig to the Lares. On each side of the
altar is the figure of a youth, the titular deities; and at the back a
crown.
